New rates for the CP have been out for a while. $210 a night? In Dayton, Ohio? Somebody needs to talk some sense into the manager unless they want to see certain events going over to the Doubletree w

Thats a load. I always book the non-Hamvention rate. It allows me flexibility to cancel and not be subject to the bumping rules associated with the Group Rate. It has always been from about $110 to $

Hate to say it, but for about 70% of the QSOs made by WRTCs, the issue of spotting and cheerleading is already moot - courtesy of Skimmer. If you were Multi-single or entered assisted, you had full a

I think the issue of spotting negatively affects only a small proportion of operators - namely those who are single ops operating from locations where they are the the only or perhaps one of two oper

I'm not a fan of spotting, and think that a lot of hams do rely on packet too much. I don't. When I operate assisted, the spots are there to supplement my runs - and my runs encompass 95% of my QSOs.

Wow. From what is reported in the Daily DX today (thanks W3UR), apparently the revolt against the Crowne Plaza has begun. Thr Friday night DX dinner is being held at the Marriott, and not the Crowne

I'd prefer a K3 that is in a larger box - almost Orion sized... 73 Rich NN3W I will just go for anything connected to K3LR's antenna farm... ;) Ryan, N2RJ -- Ryan A. Jairam, _________________________

I simply say LTR and have it programmed in as my F6 function in CT. Works great. I got asked QTC? -dozens- of times. Ignored it and moved on to the next station. And when I actually had a lot of QTCs

There might be - it all depends. My DT room is $94.00 a night. Since its an HHonors level room, the breakfast is free, which means the only outlay would be the Internet. That might make it about $105

I need to make a correction on my comment about the Double Tree. My rate is actually $81 a night - not $94.00 Its an AAA rate. So, the difference between the Double Tree and the CP is closer to $120

I've used Skimmer in contests - in WAE CW which is allowed for any category single op and in IARU as part of a multi op. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine how ANYONE could consider Skimmer to NOT

I agree. In major league baseball, we should use aluminum baseball bats. In sport fishing, a stick of dynamite will suffice. In auto racing, perhaps Jet A would work better. In marathoning, perhaps I

Best bet would be to get to St. Maarten and then connect from St. Maarten to Tortola. US Airways as a code share agreement with Caribbean Star, so you'd fly Denver-Charlotte-St. Maarten-Tortola. 73 R
